October 2026

Thank you to our parents who joined us for the Enrollment Impact Conversations. Everyone still has an opportunity to share your thoughts to address the declining enrollment using this survey link. Please complete it as soon as possible so our district's committee can review everyone's input. Thank you.

Join us for a new series of conversation-based meetings designed to support parents and strengthen family connections presented by our school psychologist, Mr. Dylan Lofgren. Together, we'll explore topics like understanding your child's learning style, navigating changes, setting boundaries, managing disagreements, and building resilience. The series of parent conversations will take place once a month on a Tuesday at 5:00PM in Room A-7 at Ramona School. Please see the flyer below for more information.

Let’s come together as a Ramona Family to celebrate and support our students. We are raising funds to provide the rewards our students earn through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) program. Every contribution helps us recognize students for demonstrating Respect, Responsibility, and positive Relationships. Together, we can make a difference and show our students how proud we are of their positive choices and accomplishments.

Our fundraiser will be from October 7th-20th. Students will receive their packets tomorrow.

Parents/guardians and family members are invited to join us for our annual Halloween Parade on Friday, October 30th. We look forward to celebrating this fun tradition with our Ramona students and families.

Costumes are voluntary and must follow the guidelines below:

· Keep costumes age- and school-appropriate. Costumes should not be scary, frightening, or gory. Please avoid costumes that include blood or other graphic elements, as we have Transitional Kindergarten students as young as four years old.

· Homemade costumes are welcome and costumes do not need to be store-bought.

· Follow district guidelines. All costumes must comply with Alhambra Unified School District guidelines.

Thank you for helping us create a fun, inclusive, and age-appropriate celebration where all of our Mustangs can enjoy the Halloween parade together.

Meet our recently elected Student Council ASB (Associated Student Body) Officers. The officers were voted into their respective offices by the student body and lead the student council. They help students have a voice in school decisions, build school spirit, and create a positive school community. As a student leadership team, the officers plan and support school activities, support community service projects, work with school staff and other leadership groups, and promote Ramona's 3Rs: RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, & RELATIONSHIPS.
